CT/VT INSTALLATION MANUAL
1. Checking upon arrival
1.1. Inspection must be made for any sign of damage such as crack, broken inccured during
shipment.
1.2. Check the completeness of test report, bolts.
1.3. In case CT/VT is shipped in wooden packing, start to open from the top and then side
packing. Use appropriate lifting equipment and never opposite to lift.
2. Storage
Place CT/VT in indoor securely, maximum temperature 400 C and avoid with water contact.
3. Installation
3.1. CT Primary terminal
3.1.1. Ensure bar toward P1 and P2 in flat condition
3.1.2. Tightening torque refers to table 1 below:
Table 1 Recommended torque
Bolt size
Torque (N.m)
M-12
60
M-10
25
M-5
3.5
When tightening, always use appropriate tool.
3.1.3. If hole of primary connection is more than one, the sequence of tightening may
follow figure 1:

3.2. CT secondary terminal

3.2.1. Connect secondary terminal CT to appropriate load as shown in the name plate.
3.2.2. Important! Never open circuit the secondary of CT. Fail to do so will cause damage
to CT.
3.3. VT secondary terminal
3.3.1. Connect secondary terminal VT to appropriate load as shown in the name plate.
3.3.2. Important! Never short-circuited the secondary of VT. Fail to do so will cause
damage to VT.
3.4. Checking of Clearance
Recommended clearance refers to table 2 below.

5. Electrical Inspection prior to energize CT/VT

5.1. Insulation resistance
Table 2 Insulation resistance
No. Result (MOhm)
Test set
1.
P-E =
VDC 1000/5000 V
2.
P-S =
VDC 1000/5000 V
3.
S-E =
VDC 1000/2500 V
4.
1S1-2S1=
VDC 1000/2500 V
5.
2S1-3S1=
VDC 1000/2500 V
Note:
1. Recommended value of insulation resistance should be more than 2000 Mohm, if lower
value is found, clean the body and terminal thoroughly using a dry and clean cloth.
2. Insulation resistance test at secondary by 5000 V will cause damage to CT/VT.
5.2. Ensure primary connection has been torqued properly.
5.3. Ensure secondary side has been connected to the appropriate load.
5.4. In case of high potential test on site, the reduced value of 80% shall be applied.

6. Maintenance of CT/VT
6.1. CT and VT are made from resin which is no special maintenance required.
6.2. During annual maintenance, clean CT and VT and check the connection of primary and
secondary in good condition.
